Maybe, but what stands out about Heidfeld for me is that he's very clever and has great technical input, this would have benefitted him the same way as it did for Prost when he would save his fuel and tyres early on and then charge later when others are struggling for grip or trying to save fuel.

Jackie Stewart and Heidfeld in the 1986 Williams FW11 (I think Heidfeld would have been awesome back in the Turbo era).
i can't imagine Heidfeld being awesome under any circumstancesbut if you say so... Why do you think this?
He has a driving style that sort of reminds me of Prost's style. We all know Prost won two of his titles in the Turbo era, and mainly it was thanks to his smooth style which Heidfeld seems to have as well.
Fair enough, I know that Prost didn't actually know how to left foot brake until his second or third season in F1 when somebody showed him. Do you reckon Button would have been good for the same reasons?
